Fall

I’m loving this fall wedding inspiration shoot featured on Style Me Pretty last year. This past weekend we went to a cookout at a friend’s house where the kids had way too much fun raking up big piles of leaves and wrestling around. Somehow this reminds me of that same carefree spirit. Big piles of leaves, cozy linens and all of the flavors of fall like homemade pie and apple cider. As a Northeast girl, I really can’t get enough …

Halloween has come and gone and with every passing day the long, warm days of summer seem long gone. Can you believe it’s already November? The air is cold this week, the leaves have all but fallen and I know our first real snowfall is only weeks, if not days, away. I am really loving the sights and sounds and flavors of fall right now. There is such warmth to fall and such a lovely energy in anticipation of the …

Happy Monday, friends! First up I do just want to quickly apologize for being a bit MIA the last few days. Our puppy decided to chew through the second MacBook power cable in her month-long tenure with us so I was forced to take a unexpected blogging hiatus late last week. Although, small confession, it felt kind of nice to unplug a bit. With that said, I’m back up and running now and we had a great weekend of home …

I admit that the last couple of days of cooler rainy weather have me thinking about fall. We’ve had a beautiful, hot and sunny summer, but any local will tell you that fall in Upstate NY is just undeniably breathtaking. Which brings me to today’s real wedding, a gorgeous fall celebration photographed by my good friends at Clark + Walker Studio. The bride and groom, Lucy and Ben, cast tradition aside and planned a beautiful and personal wedding full of …

Yet another completely inspiring real wedding featured as an inspiration board from Anne Ruthmann, this wedding is a stunning example of a classic green and brown color palette. I think this could easily be adapted to perfectly suit a fall wedding or a fresh and sunny spring wedding. I’m in love with these cute kraft paper bakery bags loaded with goodies and the fresh limes submerged in the vases. So fun and yet completely elegant, this wedding just feels like …

A while back one of my favorite photographers, Anne Ruthmann, did a cool blog feature showing off real wedding details from weddings she had photographed. She showcased the photos in inspiration board style to really highlight the essence of the event in just a few select images. I remembered how much I loved seeing how real couples pulled together their vision for their event and thought I would share a few of my favorites today. First up, this wedding is …

This past weekend I had the extreme pleasure of coordinating Elena and John’s beautiful fall wedding in the Finger Lakes. From day one, Elena was a dream client in my book. She got in touch after being referred by Megan Dailor, one of my absolute favorite photographers to work with, and has since become a friend I know I’ll be staying in touch with for a long time to come. We had picture perfect fall weather for Elena and John’s …

I am a huge fan of holidays. Essentially every holiday ever created. And, honestly, I’m a firm believer we should create some new ones just for the sake of having more excuses to throw great parties and get a little festive. I got thinking about how fun a Halloween wedding could be, even if you’re not into the ghosts and goblins version of the season. So, I went on the hunt for some great ideas for incorporating touches …
